2001 Essence of Tea “Jingmai Ancient Tree” Raw 357g
This tea displays all the characteristics of good, old tree tea. There’s a hint of smoke from the processing which has mostly all transformed. It’s oily, rich and has an exceptionally long aftertaste. It is also a very durable tea. In the tea sessions I’ve had with it, it has outlasted me every time.
It’s not from a big factory or famous brand & the smoke from the processing probably led it to being passed over and mostly forgotten in previous years. Now that the smoke has transformed, the quality of the base leaves and clean ageing are allowing this tea to really shine.
This is a concentrated tea. This point is a little difficult to describe, especially for those new to tea. Most teas have a sensation of the flavour spreading out in the mouth and dissipate leaving a little bit empty feeling and slight dissatisfaction. This one comes together in the mouth, coating the mouth and throat, but also giving a feeling of having a solid, intact body and character which remains in the mouth for a long time.
